Fabbrix® ELEMENTO FGF

Large-format 3D printing with pellet extrusion

Pellet Extrusion

Fabbrix® ELEMENTO FGF redefines industrial 3D printing by combining large-format capabilities with the efficiency of pellet extrusion. Built on the proven ELEMENTO TC platform, this machine inherits a solid mechanical structure, advanced motion control, and a user-friendly interface, ensuring reliability and performance in demanding industrial environments.

Why Pellet Extrusion?

Pellet extrusion offers key advantages over traditional filament-based systems, making it ideal for high-volume and cost-sensitive applications.

  • Material Cost Reduction: Pellets are significantly more affordable than filaments, lowering material costs by up to 80%.
  • Higher Deposition Rates: The extruder is engineered to match the machine's large-scale printing capabilities, ensuring rapid production of big parts.
  • Expanded Material Compatibility: A wider range of thermoplastics can be processed, including reinforced, recycled, and high-performance polymers.
  • Sustainable Manufacturing: Pellet-based printing reduces waste, enabling more sustainable and eco-friendly production workflows.
  • Faster Production: The high deposition rate reduces printing times, decreasing overall energy consumption per unit produced.
  • Lower Processing Temperatures: Some pellet materials can be processed at lower temperatures compared to their filament counterparts, resulting in reduced energy usage.
  • Stronger, Cost-Effective Structures: The ability to use fiber-reinforced materials and optimize part geometries allows to produce stronger components at a lower cost.
  • Improved Layer Adhesion: Direct pellet extrusion enhances fusion between layers, increasing the mechanical resistance of printed parts.

A High-Performance Extruder for Large-Scale Printing

ELEMENTO FGF features a high-output extruder with nozzle sizes ranging from 0.6mm to 2.5mm, proportioned to the machine’s build volume. This ensures:

  • Optimal balance between precision and speed for large parts.
  • Uniform and reliable material deposition.
  • The ability to process high-viscosity and fiber-reinforced materials efficiently.
